Dealers Notes

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.

Regency furniture, spanning roughly from 1811 to 1820, is characterised by classical proportions, neoclassical motifs inspired by ancient Greece and Rome, and the use of fine timbers such as mahogany.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary woods like pine or oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, brass hardware, and individual glass panes set within wooden glazing bars.

Authenticity is indicated by period-correct construction methods such as hand-planed drawer linings, old crown glass with natural imperfections, traditional shellac polish finishes, and historical wear patterns consistent with age.

A large antique bookcase provides rich texture and warmth in a modern room, serving as a focal point when contrasted against neutral walls or paired with minimalist contemporary seating.

Preserve mahogany furniture by keeping it out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to avoid timber splitting, and cleaning only with a soft, dry cloth without modern silicone sprays.
